Former Steelers CB Steven Nelson Unretires, Signs With Chiefs

Former Pittsburgh Steelers CB Steven Nelson is back where his NFL career started. Unretiring, he’s signed with the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad, potentially meaning he’ll face Pittsburgh on Christmas Day.

Nelson had a recent visit with the Chiefs, a team desperate for cornerback help. And Nelson is back in the league after walking away this past offseason.

A third round pick, the Chiefs drafted Nelson in 2015. He spent four years with the team before signing a free agent deal with the Steelers ahead of the 2019 season. With Pittsburgh, he started 30 games, recording 109 tackles and three interceptions.
